Junior. The next of age is Mary, ten
years, who is about the center of the
picture, and holds Miss Mary Dawson,
the younger of Will DawsOn's pair.
Miss Mary Dawson is enjoying her
second Christmas, being little over
year old. Miss Frances G. Beardman is
standing at Henry's right. She
is eight years old. John, the young
est of the Boardman family,
three year-old, is sitting in front of
Miss Mary Boardman, and between
Miss Mary Dawson and Master Stuart
Rice. Stuart is not much over year
old. The elder of the sons of Ed Rice,
Jr., is Edmund Rice, third, in front of
Henry BOardman. William Dawson,
third, is over there to Edmund's right.
He is few months more than two years
old, and Edmund boasts six Christ
masses. Over to the right of the picture
is little fOur-year-old John B. Sanborn,
Jr., looking every inch coming war
rior, and his sister, Lucy, six years, is
close to him. One will easily observe a
strong Rice resemblance in every one.
Little Edmund and Stuart Rice have
some other cousins whose loneliness is
a by-word on st. Anthony hill. Among
the grandchildren of the late j. E.
Thompson are, also, the pretty twins of

three grandnephews, Robert Rice Auer-
four; and last, but far from the least,
Oscar Meredith, who will be two years
old when another Christmas comes
around. Oscar is his fathers joy and
the pet of his brothers. The other
grandchildren of Senator Rice are in
Washington and Albany.
A merry, witty Quintette are the five
grandchildren of Gen. Henry II. Sibley,
the first delegate to congress from the
territory of Minnesota, and the first
governor of the state of Minnesota.
They are among the jewels of lower
town. Miss Gussie Pope and Miss Elsie.
aged twelve and nine respectively, were
both born in Springfield, and attend
Miss Gil's school. They are the daugh-
tiers of Mrs. Augusta S. Pope, and make
Gen. Sibley'S home bright during the
sunset of his life. See what thought
full face has Elsie, and in strong con-
trast are the laughing eyes of Gussie.
Miss Augusta wrote letter to Santa
Claus telling him to bring this, that
and everything, and If there was any
thing else he could think of to bring
that around too. Sibley Young was
called after his grandfather, and is
very intelligent boy. He will be eleven
years old next August. That picture of
fair innocence is Cornelia (Neenie)
Young, standing holding the hand of
her little brother. E. A. Young. Jr.,
is the mascot of the Shinah-tO TobOggan
club. She is seven years and he is two
years younger. These three children
constitute the happiness of f.. A.
Young.
Chief Justice James Gilfillan. of the
state supreme bench, has a group Of
seven children. The eldest, James
Sterling, Miss Katharine and Miss
Mary, are almost grown up. Perry is
the eldest of the quartette here pre-
scented. His bright face gives promise
of great future scholarly attachments.
Miss Carrie is year younger, and that
pleasant little lady with such an air of
polite attention is Miss Martha, another
year lower down. Miss Carrie looks
most like her mother. Russell, the
nine-year-old, reminds one very much
of his father sitting upon the bench and
listening to the arguments of great
lawyers.
That toboggan load of three merry
carnivalists is the grandchildren Of
Gov. Alexander Ramsey, the first gov
ernor of the territory of Minnesota.

Egbert Thompson Clarke. called after
his grandfather. There were no girls
more beautiful than the Misses ThOmp-
son. Their beauty is inherited by all
these children. There is the dazzling
beauty of black eyes and the soft love-
illness of blue eyes to be met with in one
glance at Frances and Susie Clarke,
now over four years old. Egbert is
twice their age, goes to Prof. Harry
Smiths school, and speaks German flu
emily. Their pretty cousins are Katha-
rine It. and Laura 7. Morton, pair of
beauties that Walter S. Morton is justly
proud of. They are four and One-half
and two and one-half years old respect
lively. Their other grandfather was the
late Gov and Senator Morton, of lndi-
ana. But pair of little rubies was not
enough, so Rachael L. Morton, whose
ten months of age have simply made
her prettier and merrier, was added. A.
K. Barnum's children can claim big
share, also, of the family beauty Of the
ThOmpsOns.

lCTURES OF PRETTY CHlLDREN
are to-day presented TO the reading
public as the GLOBES Christmas card.
Merry Christmas" to the future men
and women of st. Paul, and may Christ
mas come often to the growing descend
ants of the men who have made this
city'S prosperity and greatness. The
GLOBE loves children, is proud of the
children of st. Paul, and sends a Christ
mas greeting to every bright-eyed babe
and every elder brother and sister. Let
every Christmas tree be laden with
good things.
Christmas is especially the children's
festival. The Babe of Bethlehem is
again wOrShiped with glad festivities,
with morning carols and musical
chimes, and His advent was the birth of
a higher love for children and a better
appreciation of domestic happiness.
With tO-day'S gladness come the
merry groupings of grandparents and
grandchildren, the romping gatherings
of happy noisy cousins around taper-lit
Christmas trees As the GLOBE goes to
press this morning. Santa Claus is Just
completing his annual roundup, and is
searching out every diminutive stock
ing so that he can leave some token of
his fondnesS for the small people. Soft
is deemed appropriate to present to-day
a few-Only very few-Of the favored
little folks of St. Paul.
st. Paul is justly proud of its rising
generation. Its babies grow fast, learn
fast, and increase fast; they are
healthy, fat, happy and bright. The
boys and girls who are rap
idly nearing youth and maidenhoOd
are intelligent and full of fun. They
are the chief agitatOrs of the ice carni-
val. No tObOggan goes too fast for
them. They fill the school houses and
churches. Theirs is a high aim-the
aim to live, to accomplish and to love;
and if the next generation Of men and
women will simply follow in the foot
prints of the present and past genera
lions, their achievements will build
mightier city and strengthen glorious
Northwest.
How the magnificent frame of honest
Edmund Rice, pioneer, legislator,
mayor, congressman and patriarch,
sWellS with proud JOY as he surveys his
group of eleven grandchildren, this,
another Christmas day. Five great
names are linked together by this batch
of pretty faces-the names Rice,
Thompson, Dawson, SanbOrn and
BOardman - names famous in the
history of Minnesota, in the rec
Ords of government, in the annals
of war, in the transactions of finance,
and in the chronicles OF railroad enter.

prise. Grandfathers Thompson and
Dawson gave the impetus to the present
great banking business of st. Paul. and
their efforts made the First National
bank and the Bank of Minnesota. Papa
Edmund Rice, Jr., is one of the heavy
real estate men, Papa John B. SanbOrn
was brigadier general of the Union
army, Papa William Dawson, Jr., is one
of the shrewdeSt and most industrious
bankers of to-day, and Papa FL. A.
Boardman is one of the pioneers of the
tiourishing terra Gotta industry. Grand
fathers Thompson and Rice started the
first railroad between st. Paul and Min
neapolis, the old st. Paul & Pacific,
which was the beginning of the Mani
toba system. So this is truly a repre-
sentative group Of st. PauPs rising
generation. 1t is also representative
Minnesota group, for all eleven were
born in Minnesota, and all their moth
ers, Nellie. Rachael and Made Rice and
Ella Thompson, were also born in this

Burned 70 1 CRISP.

"A sad and terrible accident, which re-
suited in the death of Emma A, Miller,
estimable wife of J. II. Miller, occurred
at their residence one mile north west
of Warner last Monday morning.
On that fatal morning Mrs. Miller
rose at about 5 o'clock aud after Alag
the tank of the gasoline stove attempt
ed to light the burner. In filling the
tank she accidentally spilled gasoline
ON her dress aud in attempting to light
the burner her clothes caught fire and
Immediately she was enveloped in
flames. She started out of the house
and ran down toward the Moccasin
creek but did not cry for help. Mr..
Miller was out at tho barn, but Mr..
Ballard who was sleeping up stairs was
awakened by the smell of burning gas.
oline Immediately came down. Not
seeing Mrs. M. any where in the house
he ran to the door and there beheld =
most pitible sight. The unfortunate
woman had ran about three rods from
the house when she dropped to the
ground a burning mass of human flesh
Mr.. Ballard at NEE began tearing from
her body what remained of her clsth-
ing. She was then carried to the house
and laid upon the bed. Her sntire
body from her neck to her shoe tops
was burned to acrisp, yet after the first
ten minutes she said she suffered no
pain. She lived until nearly three
o'clock when she fell into a deep and
peaceful sleep from which never to
wake on this earth. She was conscious
to the last and seemd not afraid to die.
Her rems ms were laid al rest in the
village cemetery Wednesday afternoon,
Rev. Mr.. Brown delivering the funeral
sermon. The heart broken husband
